It is a beautiful Art Deco-ish design in a brown case which may be leather covered and has an attached brass chain which ends in an embossed clip which looks like it should slip over a button. The case is marked "Stuttgart Germany." A very nice feature is that it has two shutter speed/ f stop scales: one marked with the older speeds (which correspond to my early M3) of 25-50-100-250 and the other the more modern convention of 30-60-125... It appears to have an adjustment screw on the back. Does anyone have any idea when these were produced? Given that it has both DIN and ASA scales, I assume it dates after the early 1960s, but I am not sure. It is in nice condition and is worth having for its design. It will be even better if it is reasonably accurate and I can use it. it is a nice size and should slip in a pocket easily. I will check it against my digital meter when I get the chance. Does anyone know anything about these meters? Steve
